Why AmeriCorps with the PNA Village?

“I served as an AmeriCorps member with the PNA Village from 2012-2103, and in that time I learned much more than I expected. I was given a high level of responsibility and ownership over coordinating the program’s volunteers and developing the new program. My supervisor was incredibly helpful in ensuring I understood program goals, but also trusting in my ability to coordinate successfully. Our weekly check in meetings and goal setting sessions provided the opportunity for us to communicate effectively and to build certain skills that would make me a competitive applicant for future jobs. Most importantly, I really just had so much fun in this position. I met wonderful members of the community who touched my life and who made a notable impact on me. I highly recommend applying for this fantastic AmeriCorps opportunity.”

“I completely credit my time as an AmeriCorps member at the PNA Village for allowing me to find a career and job I love! I served as the Village Volunteer Coordinator during the 2013-2014 term and can’t imagine a more fun place to spend your AmeriCorps year. You work with incredible co-workers, amazing volunteers, and wonderful members and you get to learn and grow while doing so! The skills and relationships you develop during your time at the Village will help you to do whatever you want to do in life. I am being completely honest when I say: ‘If I could have served a second term with the Village, I would have in a heartbeat.’ ”
